Questions on DVD and air conditioner

[Nieman60]

Hello we have just purchased a new Vegas 2017 25.5 model and was told that the DVD player in the Dash could switch over to the main TV, does anyone know how to do this? Also has anyone had trouble with their air-conditioning keeping up in temperatures of 80-90 degrees? I do understand anything higher would become a problem. Thank you for any assistance. We do like the coach very much so far and it drives nice.

Sadly you were told incorrectly: You can't send the video from the dash radio to any of the TV's (unless they have added something but this is not a feature that has been included in any Axis or Vegas to date).

I have posted this mod several times because it works! Add a vent to your inside AC cover and you will get a lot more airflow. The vent is available on Amazon and is easy to install. Increased airflow = increased cooling.



Here is a link to the vent: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thank you for your time and information, we really do appreciate it!

Thank you for the information , I'm disappointed in the salesman that said this was possible.

has anyone else done this and will it void the warranty?

Making this mod to your AC will not void your warranty. You are not making a mechanical or electrical modification.

We were told that you can run a hdmi cable from the radio to your TV. We have not tried it as we had an extra dvd player at home and attach it to whichever TV we want to view a movie on...and we do not watch movies while moving down the road. However, I realize having children creates different needs.

Our main tv works on 12 volts and I bought a blu Ray DVD that has the converter cord for 12 volts. Works great for the grandkids to watch movies while traveling. No generator needed

Nieman,
At least on our 2016 Vegas 24.1 the Axerra dash radio's DVD is not connected to any of the house TV's.
BUT, if you take the panel off over the radio you will find RCA connectors just laying there (RYW colored plugs) that are ment to do just what you were told was done. The problems are: as such that you will not have HD quality picture, you need to get some long RCA extensions and then figure where to run the cables to reach the TV's. Once you get it run to your Sieki TV you will plug into the RYW RCA plugs on the back of the TV. With that done, then you should be able to access the playback using the soucre button on the TV remote and it should be either VGA or Component A/V (not sure since I went a different way to get BluRay/DVD to inside and outside TVs).

Everyone here is correct. The dash radio DVD player won't help you with the coach TV's. You will need to buy a DVD player to hook up to your tv system. They are cheap enough these days you may want to get one for each tv or you can of course use one DVD player for all your TV's. As for roof mounted AC they are almost all inadequate at cooling your coach. This is why some larger rigs and even smaller ones too have two or more roof units. Newer units are starting to come with a slide vent option inside on the AC unit to boost direct cool air into your rig by passing most if not all ducts. Even with this feature on very warm days they will not cool your rig enough. We don't have the roof space to add an additional AC so we use two small fans to assist moving air around in the coach. The chassis AC helps when driving and at camp sites we always get a spot under trees to help shade the coach and that helps the most.

If you look at my picture I have the slide vents too, but adding the round vent increased airflow by quite a bit plus with the round vent you can direct the air where you need it.
